Sony Ericsson
ending WTA
sponsorship
Sony Ericsson is ending its sponsorship of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour at the end of next year, according to ESPN.com .
The mobile-phone company became the title sponsor of the women's tennis tour in 2005 in a six-year, $88 million deal. Although the contract was extended through the end of 2012, Sony Ericsson's name was dropped from the tour's title in 2011.
The WTA said in a statement Friday that "2012 will be the eighth and final year of the partnership. They have been a great partner and we will miss them."
